STORAGE COMPANY MUST PAY. 



Lily Pips Sprouted in Freezer — Court 

 Holds That Refrigerating Company 

 Must Keep Temperatures Sufficient- 

 ly Low to Preserve the Goods. 



.Julius Roehrs' exotic nurseries of 

 Rutherford, New .Jersey, will celebrate 

 the present holiday season with a 

 check for over five thousand dollars 

 ($.5000), recovered thi'oimh its attor- 

 neys. Hatch & Clute, of 100 Broadway, 

 New York, in a law suit which in- 

 volved points of great importance to 

 florists and cold storage men. 



The decision in favor of Mr. Roehrs 

 has .just been unanimously affirmed on 

 appeal by the Appellate Division of the 

 Supreme Court in New York, and the 

 substantial sum of money turned over 

 by the storage house to make good the 

 loss caused by the sprouting of the 

 pips. 



It appears, from the record on Lhe 

 appeal in the case, that in the winter 

 of 190o-01 Mr. Roehrs received about a 

 million lily of the valley pips from 

 well-kno^/n German florists. He used 

 about half of the pips in question at 

 his nurseries in Rutherford, N. J., dur- 

 ing the winter of 1903. and about the 

 middle of March, 1904. he stored the 

 remaining halt million pips with the 

 Manhattan Cold Storage Company, of 

 New York. The following summer Mr. 

 Roehrs discovered that the i)ips while 

 in the storage warehouse had sprouted 

 and were growing. He immediately 

 caused an investigation to be made by 

 his lawyers, who represent a number 

 of local florists and who have .given 

 special attentiou to the legal rights of 

 the trade in the matter of the very 

 heavy losses which have been sus- 

 tained through the careless storage of 

 goods. As a i-esult of this investiga- 

 tion the demand was made upon the 

 storage company to reimburse Mr. 

 Roehrs for the loss of the pips, anJ 

 this demand brought about a test of 

 the respective rights of the florist and 

 the slor.ige house under the circinn- 

 stances disclosed. 



It was claimed, on behalf of the stor- 

 age company, that its legal obligation 

 was not to "preserve the goods," in the 

 absence of a special agreement for a 

 spcific temperature, and that, as Mr. 

 Roehrs cculd not establish what oc- 

 curred in the storage warehouse, he 

 could not recover. It was also claimed 

 that the condition of the goods at the 

 time they were received from Europe, 

 as well a-! their condition at the time 

 they were stored, was in doubt, be- 

 cause not all of the boxes were exam- 

 ined at Mr. Roehrs' place. 



So important were these points to 

 the traile generally, that Mr. Roehrs 

 determined to fipht the case to the end, 

 and on the trial many well-known 

 florists and growers of Lily of the 

 Valley testified as witnesses. Mr. 

 Roehrs' attorneys succeeded in getting 

 before the .iury the temperature rec- 

 ords of the storage company, which con- 

 tained some damaging evidence in the 

 way of temperature, which experts 

 said were too high to preserve the 

 bulbs. It was also shown that the 

 goods of several other dealers stored 

 there during the same period were 

 fo'iud to ha-"e =r)ro"tel Exr"^rt s*o'-- 

 age men were brought from Philadel- 

 phia and other cities, who testified
